GUANGZHOU - The Scirocco Cup China 2010 competition named for Volkswagen's sports coupe held its season finale on Dec 5 at the Guangdong International Circuit racecourse.

Now in its second year, the race series held seven competitions in cities including Zhuhai, Chengdu, Erdos, Shanghai and Zhaoqing, but the sport enjoys its biggest following in southern China, said Hu Bo, marketing director of the VW brand at Volkswagen Group China.

"The Scirocco Cup China brought Volkswagen's unique racing spirit and exceptional motor sport performance to China, the world's fastest growing auto market," said Weiming Soh, executive vice-president of Volkswagen Group China.

Volkswagen planned to sell 5,000 Scirocco models in 2010 and had sold 4,000 by October.

"We are confident we will fulfill our sales goal this year," Hu said.

Including the Scirocco models, 33,511 imported Volkswagens have been delivered to date this year, a considerable increase over the 20,000 last year.
